A black A line skirt, just like the famous little black dress, it can be the centerpiece of your wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down, it's slimming and it's always classic. Get the most from a black A line skirt by learning how to wear it for any occasion.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make your black A line skirt part of a beautifully tailored black suit. It's the ultimate can't miss outfit for feeling powerful. Choose one in a year round fabric. A simple black A line skirt that's knee length is the most versatile cut for your skirt. Climb your way up the corporate ladder by wearing it with pearls, classic pumps and a tailored blouse.

  2. Step 2

    Pair the skirt with a crisp black shirt, silky scarf and trendy sling-backs for those get-down-to-work meetings.

  3. Step 3

    Look sharp and polished on casual Fridays. Combine your black A line skirt with a sweater, black tights and suede ballet flats. For warmer months, ditch the tights and substitute a short-sleeve summer sweater.

  4. Step 4

    Dress up your black A line skirt for Saturday night parties. A shimmery top, sexy high-heeled red sandals and a red satin evening bag will give you the party look.

  5. Step 5

    Fall back on that dependable black A line skirt for Sunday brunch. Combine it with a cozy sweater and great leather boots, and you're ready for anything the day may bring.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you find a black A line skirt you love, but it doesn't fit well, don't hesitate to have it altered to fit. A good tailor can be your wardrobe's best friend.
  • Always dry clean the jacket and skirt of your black suit at the same time, even if only one piece needs it. Cleaning can fade a garment.
